to the years:

• Beanie Baby mania begins!

As Partners in Housing continued to develop the strategy for long-term success, we were able to purchase five single-family homes from the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)!

These homes had been leased to Partners in Housing for use in our program, but we were excited to move forward in acquiring them!

Along with a grant back from HUD, funding from the City of Colorado Springs, and the State of Colorado Division of Housing, the five homes were added to the Partners in Housing inventory for long-term support of the community.

These five homes are still in use by Partners in Housing and have been well maintained! We continue to adhere to the low-income restriction agreements, that were part of the funding awards. Pictures of our properties below:

Check out our 6-minute interview with Partners in Housing's first Executive Director, retired USAF Colonel, Richard Conn!

"From a lot of 1993, 1994, our effort was in expanding our agency so that we could serve more folks, but we wanted to own everything. We wanted the community to know that we were there for the long haul, not the short run. And the way to that I felt was to show that we were investing in the community on a full-time, long-range basis."

"It made the community better because we had successful families that went through some very challenging times, but wound up being extremely productive members of the community...one of the great thrills I had was when one of our family graduates actually became my boss at one time. She became President of the Board of Directors and was originally a Partner family at Partners in Housing."
